Axios Finish Line: Make AI remember you
It's not broken. You just haven't taught it to remember you.
TL;DR
- AI's memory operates on two levels: working memory within a chat and lasting memory about the user.
- Users can proactively teach AI about themselves by explicitly stating preferences at the end of important chats.
- Auditing and editing the AI's saved 'memory file' on the user is crucial for accuracy and relevance.
- Paid versions of ChatGPT and Claude allow users to search past chats to identify patterns in their own thinking.
- Workspaces (Projects, Gems) offer a more powerful way to manage AI context for specific, recurring topics by allowing file uploads and rule-setting.
